Do you have a child that loves to build stuff and loves STEM projects? This great collection SolarBots from Thames & Kosmos will get them excited to learn how solar power works, how to build their own robot and make them move just by using the sun. This would make a awesome gift for the upcoming holidays!

My boys love building things so this is just perfect for them! These are so neat looking, and it is so interesting to learn how we can power things without batteries, just our beautiful sun! I always say….the best way to learn is by having fun! Ages 6+

About Thames & Kosmos:

Thames & Kosmos was founded in 2001 by a science museum director and her son, who saw the great need and demand for better science education materials — resources for parents and their children that are more engaging, more effective, more relevant, and more fun.

Thames & Kosmos operates as the exclusive arm of parent company, Franckh-Kosmos Verlags-GmbH & Co. KG — Kosmos for short — based in Stuttgart, Germany. Founded in 1822, Kosmos operated solely as a book publisher until the 1920s, when the company published its first science kits aimed at explaining the world of science to children and young adults by bringing it to life with hands-on experiments.

Generations of European children have discovered their enthusiasm for science through Kosmos science kits. Since 2001, Thames & Kosmos and Kosmos have teamed up to develop science kits for children in the United States and other English speaking markets around the world.
